Digital rubber necking ? That's a meaningless phrase. The OP merely was seeking information. -

Reviving this to say that Palais is now up and running. We went to a night there yesterday. It is a first floor bar with cocktails and space for a DJ. That I think is intended to be a quieter space for an older/more chilled crowd. There is also a basement club space that can hold 500, it has an amazing sound system. The communal areas are still a bit rough and ready, they still need to do some replastering and painting on the stairways and there is currently no functioning lift. But generally it was well run and thoughtfully restored. It was good to see the space back in use and it feels like a good addition to that end of Peckham. Interestingly, showing a shift in night time cultures, there were signs about not using mobile phones and everyone had to get a blocking sticker put on their phone camera lens before they were allowed in. -
Great shout. They do need the extra fat when it’s winter, but don’t use fat balls from April as they are dangerous for nestlings as the babies can choke on lumps of the fat. When it gets milder switch to suet pellets as they are harder and don’t melt (the grease is bad for feathers. -
Rather alarmist. There is unlikely to be snow this week, but even if there is that is natural and wildlife adjust accordingly. There are fewer insects to eat due to what humans have done to the planet over the decades. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decline_in_insect_populations In particular: Habitat Loss and Fragmentation: Agricultural Chemicals: Climate Change: Pollution: Invasive Species: There is even a case for not feeding birds due to the spread of disease through feeders, greenfinch population was decimated. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/jan/24/should-we-stop-feeding-birds-what-happens-if-we-do-and-does-it-spread-disease I do feed the birds but keeping a watching eye on the evidence. And I try to grow insect and bird friendly plants including attempts at a meadow. There could also be an argument for not keeping cats as these may decimate bird populations. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/aug/14/cats-kill-birds-wildlife-keep-indoors You will need squirrel proof feeders and even then you may have the starlings and green squwaky things eating most of the food left out for small birds.
